Question

What to eat for a child with a cold and cough?

Answer

A cold is a self-limiting disease, and even without medication, as long as you drink plenty of water and provide good care, it can heal itself in about a week. Your situation can be treated symptomatically; you can take cold capsules and anti-inflammatory medication. Generally, it’s not recommended to add formula milk to soy milk for babies to eat together, as it may interfere with the absorption and utilization of nutrients. For babies under 3 years old, formula milk is mainly used as a nutritional supplement, no longer the primary source of nutrition. On average, around 400 to 500 milliliters per day is sufficient. You can use the method of alternating soy milk and formula milk to feed the baby daily, as both have similar effects. Soy milk is rich in calcium, protein, and other nutrients, and the baby also eats rice, meat, vegetables, and fruits, ensuring that the baby’s nutrition is up to par.
